Easyjet is launching a new breakfast flight from Glasgow to London Gatwick.

The airline said the 7am service will start in June with its schedule also expanding from three to four flights a day between the cities in the winter.

Its Scotland flex offer - which gives passengers the chance to fly back early from any London airport to any Scottish airport - is being introduced to Glasgow from April 5.

Hugh Aitken, easyJet's commercial manager for Scotland, said: "Our flights between Glasgow and London boast some of the highest percentages of business travellers across our entire network, so we wanted to thank Glasgow customers for their loyalty by introducing these new and exciting products.

"In addition, passengers can avoid the hassle of Heathrow by choosing to fly to one of the three other London airports served by Easyjet."

Easyjet confirmed a three times a week service between Glasgow and Jersey in the Channel Islands will run between June and September.

Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "Easyjet's new service to Jersey is yet more good news from the airline.

"Jersey has always proved a popular summer destination and the new route will offer greater choice and flexibility for our customers."

Glasgow Chamber of Commerce is entering into a formal partnership with the airline which will help its members get discounts on flights and services.

Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said: "We are absolutely thrilled and excited to welcome Easyjet as one of our partners for Glasgow.

"As a vocal champion for Glasgow's economic growth we know how crucial air routes, and in turn Easyjet, is to the future prosperity of the city."
